There was an eye- opening report over the weekend about GPS
spoofing, or navigation hacking.

Recent research is revealing that a person can hack into a vehicle, planeÆs, and shipÆs
navigation and change their course, without the operator ever knowing it.

Todd Humphreys is an assistant professor at the University of
Texas, whose research has revealed how a ship or planesÆ GPS system can be
hacked into.

Humphrey joined MarylandÆs News Now Monday to talk with the
showÆs co-host John Patti about his latest research on how a GPS could be hacked, and how this could impact transportation around the world.

ôSo if somebody can manipulate the GPS signals going into
your craft, then they can move your position,ö Humphrey said. ôAnd if they do it subtlety
enough, you might not know it.ö

Humphrey agreed with Patti that although many might often think
that terrorists could take a huge part in this, pranksters might try to take
part in it too.
